Nose
Intense fruit aromas of ripe pear and orange liqueur, complemented by toasty oak.

Complex pear, apple and citrus flavors give way to a full-bodied texture and a long finish.
Bottling
1.5L magnum bottle.
Winemaking
Separately vinified vineyard lots showing the most complex fruit were selected for further aging on the lees. Each component contributes a unique clone and microclimate signature to the blend. 100% barrel fermented and aged “sur lie” for an average of 7 months 47% of the blend underwent malo-lactic fermentation.
Aging
42% in new French oak, 58% in 3rd fill barrels.
Food Pairing
Try with shellfish, cream soups, chicken, veal, or rich pasta dishes.
